![]() ![]() Keturah was sometimes too perfect and at other times too lackadaisical, wasting time doing chores when she was given a brief reprieve from death to find her true love. Death especially was an intriguing figure, but his character was so vaguely sketched I had trouble seeing him as both a force of nature and a lovelorn man longing for companionship. I feel that most of the supporting characters had more personality than the two leads. ![]() It was interesting and engaging, even archetypal, but also a little under-baked. ![]() I read this book on the recommendation of people who "really loved" it, and when I finished it I was unsure whether I liked it or not. Unwilling to die young or exchange anyone’s life for her own, Keturah wins the sympathy of Lord Death, who grants her only a few days to find true love and win back her life - or else go with him to be his queen. Death comes to her in the form of a handsome man. Young Keturah loses her way in the forest and nearly dies of thirst, hunger, and exhaustion. ![]()
